John Gaines Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 A bit of a long shot but I am looking for the front half of a cage for a project. I have a live axle car but as I only need the bar that runs from the dash over the screen a dedion one may fit. Regards, John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie. Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 John, Seller on Ebay has a few cages. I suggest you send a message saying what you're after as they may have something suitable. Failing that, you may be able to do a deal on one of the straight tube cages (Although they'll likely want to wait for the auction to finish).

Vinnie_Hki Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 John, Can you be a bit more precise about what you need? I have a Roadsports cage here in Finland which is surplus and frankly it's unlikely to sell to a UK buyer as the shipping from Finland is almost as much again as these things go for (about 200) However a cut down cage is going to be easier to move, depending on what you need.

John Gaines Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 Vinnie, the part that I need is the front tube that connects to the chassis and over the wind screen, if possible with the two rear bars going back to the rear frame, but not the rear frame. This would be a rather large odd shaped parcel 😳 The front bar with the top tubes cut off about 30mm back would be ok. I am looking to fabricate an add on to my FIA bar, not for the track but for any deer etc round our country roads. The new bar would bolt on to the front of the chassis where the cage fits and clamp the FIA bar. Let me know if you have any ideas.

Wrightpayne Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 John, there was a picture in low flying last year of a Japanese car which looked like it had added a front hoop, with removeable fore/aft bars running above the door step, to an FIA bar. No roof diagonal though I've a dedion car and the tubing on the cage is very different to the FIA bar - the FIA bar is actually heavier than the cage. Diameter is smaller on the cage (32mm dia) though I'm not sure about the wall thickness. Regards Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie. Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 John/Vinnie, (Assuming you're both fairly handy in the workshop). If it helps, the straight tube Arch chassis cages are brazed, so you could heat up each joint with a welding torch then wire brush the brazing off. You should be able to dismantle it quite neatly like this. Flat pack Cages...now there's a business opportunity. Willie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gaines Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 BTT just in case someone has damaged one this season 😳 John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Bill Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I've a complete one that was for my de-dion for £110 if you want. Pick up from Warrington? BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart McGill Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Badger, I may be interested in this if not. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gaines Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 thanks Bill, seems a shame to cut up a good one as I only need half, so I will pass over to Stuart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Payne Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Have you asked Arch? I'm sure they must have to scrap some bent ones occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
